NBC has given
Amy Poehler and Co. another season on the air, renewing
"Parks and Recreation" for a sixth season on Thursday (May 9), a network source confirmed with Zap2It.

The sitcom, which left several balls in the air in its Season 5 finale, including the impending fatherhood of Ron Swanson, now stands as the elder statesman for the Peacock comedy brand, with both
"30 Rock" and
"The Office" shuttering this season.

It's been a busy day at the network, with NBC already having sent out
a flurry of series orders to a trio of comedies (
"About a Boy" from
Jason Katims,
"Sean Saves the World" starring
Sean Hayes and
"Family Guide" starring
Parkey Posey), as well as the dramas
"Believe" and
"Crisis."
